Always look on the bright side of life :) *I will try*

So I think we kind of get the effect of Global Warming these few days. Warm weather, bush fires, haze and of course headaches! And when U compare it to the weather in Melbourne, I can tell U that U will wanna stay there and not come back. LOL

This week was hell, had my 1st test for Sem 2 and 50 MCQs in 1.5h which consists of calculations & analysing. Can't finished and as usual, I think I will score badly and it makes me think twice on staying in NTU or going to RMIT. Tmr will be the start of the recess week, which means mugging for more tests after that. Then driving exam on Thu which, I don't feel like talking about it and just leave it to God, too sian n stress to think abt it.
Went out with Joyce today. We chatted, laughed, whined & complained. Oh my, really missed the times in Poly. Then smth funny happened, 1 lady turned and bumped real hard into me while we were walking along Orchard, I practically flew from the place I was standing and knocked into Joyce. Luckly Joyce was beside me, if not I think I would have fell to the ground.
Then went to Bugis, thought of eating Tom's Palette but yea it was closed on Sun. So no choice, we went to eat desserts :) And I saw Pornsak!!!!'s photo outside the shop. hahah GOTCHA

I realised the variety shows on ChU and 8 these days are not bad as I don't usually watch local productions. But I feel that Going Home & Life Transformer 2 are shows that touches ppl.
After watching the episode on Pornsak sponsoring kids in Thailand, it really touches our hearts and my parents thought of doing it as a small sum to us is really a big sum to them and it will enable them to continue studying. And I myself has make a promise that I will do the same thing when I step into the workforce, it's smth that I always thought of doing since sec sch when I happened to chance upon the World Vision advertisement in Reader's Digest.
It's only when U see these kids that U will feel how fortunate we are. There's 1 part which makes me feel guilty as I usually discard my food if I can't finished but the kids over there have been eating the same dish everyday and the teachers dilute their curry so that they will feel bloated and full after eating. Alright, really have to count our blessings that we don't have to go through this.

I can understand how my nephew feels now cos U seriously don't feel like going back to sch after a long wkend T_T Got to wake up at 5.45am tmr makes me siann..
To make things worse, I have 2 tests on wed but confidence level = zero. Though it will be recess week next wk, I am still stress and my heart feels heavy, really heavy cos there will be tests after that and also my driving test. Given a choice to rewind back time, I would listen to my dad to take more lessons after poly to clear test during last yr as there is not pole now! Or maybe don't learn driving at all so I don't have this thing in my head now. Also, really think about what I wanna do b4 choosing the courses. I guess I am really afraid of failure, can't seem to find back my "never say die" attitude. It's fading, it comes and goes. All maybe these are the obstacles I have to go through to make me a stronger person.

Last wk was a pretty short one, only 2 days of sch for me. Met Yvonne for ice cream at Westmall after my driving. Udders, my 1st time trying though I still prefer Tom's Palette :) We ordered Bailey & Lychee Martini. We r The alcoholics but not that nice and the price is on the high side. Think that will be my first and last time there.
Then woke up super early on Sat to go to the temple to pray. Followed by breakfast at Geylang Bahru's market. It has been a long long time since my last time there though I grew up at that estate.

After that, went to Bukit Batok to visit my dad's friend whom is a monk. Then he told me that my life this yr shld be alright but then don't give myself too much stress. Then I was stunned cos usually he will just say alright then won't continue further. So yep told him my NTU/RMIT story then he said go for the one U think U really like, don't stress urself. Certs doesn't matter as at the end of the day U might not work in the same field. Then he quoted me this, some graduates even go sell chicken rice. Or maybe married after that, or work for my dad. Ohh well, the marrying one will be impossible unless he's a rich & older guy, hahaha. Then he said for my character, I am very stubborn, unwilling to give up thats why will give myself alot of stress, even more stubborn than my dad. This statement shocks all, cos my dad is known to be the most stubborn or maybe most determined one in my family. Think if my dad visits him again to flip cards, I wanna tag along too. Went home after that and mugged. Then my sis brought her friends to our place for visiting after going to Mr Leong's house. They are a pretty high and sporting grp, hahha and I became their photographer. First time holding a DSLR, awww makes me wanna get one too! Though I feel like getting a compact one like GF1..

Then went to grandma's hse for dinner ytd as it was Carina's 2 yrs old Birthday. Drank but no effect, just red and hot. Oh ya, smth funny happened too. My uncle asked so what did U all eat that day? So i replied Peng Chai*flower pot in chinese*, which should be Peng Cai. Then he was blur and said what?! Then my mum also said the same thing as me. Then he explained, eh U wanna eat flowerpot ah? Alright, stupid name so hard to pronounce =.=
Then my mum watched Greys Anatomy with me last night :) She agrees that Kate Walsh is pretty, she's a fantastic actress! Okie, I shall go watched 1 episode b4 I sleep. Again, I hate school!

Chinese New Year is a sinful period for girls. As U get to eat alot of good stuffs and snacks that make U gain calories like mad.

I skipped lesson today though I woke up at the time I am supposed to just that I wasn't feeling that gd. I had a dream last night that I was feeling so heaty and asked my mum to get me watermelons. We went all over the place to search for it and when I woke up, I really feel warm despite aircon and also my throat felt dry which I think is becos of too much singing ytd, hahah.
Then my dad asked me along to their annual CNY staff lunch. So Auntie Grace, Karin, my cousin Chua, Dad, Mum and me went to Putien for lunch. I really enjoy eating their food, it's so nice despite this busy period. Had a 6 course meal including "Lou Hei", my fav too esp the salmons, yummy! The 2nd dish was great, finally I did had a taste of what is "Peng Cai", lots of gd stuffs inside. Ate till the 5th dish and all of us surrendered, we were all so full so we takeaway the fish.

They were pretty funny and when Auntie Karin told me that she begged her tester nt to deduct somemore points cos she don't wanna retake again and he seriously didn't. Then my cousin said that was becos U r young at that time, now U do that then ur tester will shout: U GET OUT OF MY CAR! Another case was, there was this 4 characters caligraphy and we all didn't know how to read. So my cousin asked the waitress whom is a China girl. Then she said: Hmm, wo bu dong. Apparently it's not simplified chinese. Then he was quite mean to say this to her: Huh, ni bu dong. Ni shi cong na yi qian xue xiao de? Maybe wo men shi tong xue. Before he said Maybe... I was thinking huh why he so mean, then okie la he meant it as a joke after that.

Then went home and mugged for awhile before I have my dose of drugs-Greys Anatomy :) Was thinking to change the Starhub program for discovery, nat geo to Starworld etc. cos there's private practice, C.S.I and many more. Okie shall go sleep now, 3 hrs lesson tmr with long breaks in btw, so going for driving and meeting Yvonne for ice cream at Westmall too :)

My 21st Chinese New Year

It's already the 2nd day of the Tiger Year and that's fast. Of course, we were the busiest on the 1st day when we go around visiting relatives. It was also Valentine's Day which meant a day to love the ppl around you. Arww, what a meaningful day :)

Woke up early ytd despite sleeping super late. 1st stop was my paternal grandparents' house.
It's a day whereby U will "HAPPY NEW YEAR" all day long plus handshakes and of course collecting ang baos! Then stayed there till about noon before leaving for my maternal grandparent's house. On our way there, Wilma, my ex-maid called us from Philipppines to wish us. She's so sweet that she never fails to call us on CNY, our birthdays despite leaving Singapore abt 12 yrs back. And all the best to her as she will be leaving for UK to work.

As usual, we were the last to reach my ah ma's hse. And it was filled with alot of ppl till I am alittle lost cos everyone starts to wish U n passed U the ang baos and there again, U will have to remember their names and greet them. hahah that's what happened when U have lots of relatives. And my same old cousin always asked me about boyfriend when he sees me and my mum will always come to my rescue by asking him why leh and asked him to save up $$$.
And congrats Cousin Susie, she's so lucky cos she strike 2nd prize in 4D ytd so she will be treating us lunch this Sunday :)

Went home after dinner to wash up before heading to the next place, my small aunt's hse to gamble. For once I won $ playing blackjack and we left abt 1 am. I was so tired that I fell asleep the moment I lay down. And I woke up real late today, abt 11+ am and my body was aching badly. Then William and family came to visit us today with little gal! Followed by my 4th aunt. So in another word, I haven't have the time to mug :( And isn't it pathetic to have to think about sch matters when it's supposed to be a joyful occasion?! Gosh, after looking through HW 111A assignment which is due next wk, I gt a bad feeling cos I don't know what to write for it! May God bless me to generate some ideas tmr which means I gotta skip the afternoon gathering at small aunt's hse tmr, only to join them at night cos dad's treating all for dinner.


See Eunice, I am still taller than U!

Just in time to blog for the last day of the Year according to the Lunar calender :)
I was the bad girl again as I ponned my afternoon class on friday as I was ald having the holiday mood. CBC 112 lecture was fun, Prof Linder from France did some "magic" with little nitrogen. She's damn funny but noisy at times, she said hmmm so Valentine's Day falls on the same day as CNY, well then it would be nice if ur bf buys U an orange tree =.=
Then met Pui Sauw at Bugis for lunch at Waraku followed by ice cream at Tom's Palette. Their ice creams are really very nice, must go there and try!

Today was a busy day for me. Helped to wash car under the hot sun, and I guess it's a gd exercise I sweat alot. Then prepare the food for steamboat and not forgetting sushi. Had reunion dinner at my hse this yr. It's a pity that my grandfather still didn wanna join us cos of the conflict over him and my maid. But overall, everything went on smoothly and yea looking forward to the New Year in another few mins! So bye Ox *MOOO* and hello Tiger *RAHHH* :)

GOOD GIRLS GO BAD BAD BAD...

Lectures today and I filled the lecture hall(left row) with my strawberry flavoured love letters fragrance. 1 guy even said the ester smell too strong ald, that's so chemistry but heheh so sry for the smell =9 Then had subway melt for lunch and I have got to stop that cos it's freaking expensive for a poor student like me. Saw the NTU sweater, arghh I feel like buying but it's out of my budget, hmm shall asked my mum about it.

Initially what we planned was to do HW111A assignment but we went to Valenwine at Nanyang Audi and got stucked there. $2 for 4 winetasting, sounds cool huh?! That's what I thought too and yea I happily went drinking inside. Yvonne smsed me and when I told her that I was drinking wine and I think she thought I was joking for a moment. hahah Yvonne ur name appeared in my blog again!
Anyway, I had red wine, white wine, fruit wine and cocktail. Then BOOMZ, my face and body begun flushing, just like what happened in chalets but this is in NTU. Ohh my tian...felt like digging a hole and hide just now. Drinking just reminds me of DCHE, class 23 peeps, chalets, gamblings, squeezing behind the rented van to go joyride in the middle of the night, last but not least I learnt to play L4D though I am the noob, always kanna shoot from them! So what I learnt during my Chemical Engineering days? I LEARNT TO DRINK! HAHAH. Then went lecture at 3.30 with my tomato face, well alcohol makes me warm so I don't even need jacket, it's just that alcohol + lecture = building sandcastles in the air :) 2 days more to Friday! I am happy except for 1 thing, what abt U??

My sis and my body might be in Singapore but then our souls seem to be miles away, perhaps still in Melbourne. We miss the weather and life there. No stress, relaxed mode anytime anywhere...

Alright, a summary of what happened last week till now. Week 4 is over and workload getting heavier. Tests/Exams getting nearer, mood getting lousier. Oh my, that rhymed huh hahah.
Had prac on last Tue and the TA(yr 4 students) gt mood swing I think and she "lectured" me when I removed my gloves by saying: U think U gt time to paint ur nails in yr 2/3/4, what U will do is just stay in the chem lab and smell chemicals all day! LOL and she gt a shocked when I said I know chemistry is tough thats why I defer my business in RMIT.
Oh well, I kanna her again today and I thought die, she will surely remember my face. To my surprise, she smiled sweetly at me la and kept coming to my place to ask and help me if I gt any qns abt the lit research. Weird

Back to last week, met Pui Sauw after my lessons on Tue. Off to Vivo for lunch/dinner.
Had our mastering communication skills last Thu, the lesson where most feared but to my surprise, it was fun. We got to compete by building a tower with newspapers within 25 mins and graded on 3 components. Oh well, ours was quite funny, shortest but it looked like a Olympic torch, not that fantastic compared to the other 2 but yea gt some votes but lost in the end due to a push to test out the stability by Mr Winder. It was all abt team bonding and get to observe the other team and in turn friends observed abt us. Luckly mine was a +ve comments from Jonathan, he said my leadership style is Democratic. YAY :)

Anyway, I think I can understand what Joyce Tan was feeling back then, exasperated at every single thing for the slightest reason. Again weekends was spend on shows, I gt to be sent to rehab to stop my addiction to Greys and Private Practice. To make myself feel less guilty, I did some reading of my horrible notes on Modern Chem. As Mon was my offday from school, went to Orchard with my mum for shopping and to get the decoder box changed to hubstation as I subscribed the karaoke channel. heheh can practise my singing at home now.

Watched a few videos on youtube just now about how that Pastor Rony Tan bombarded Buddhism. Though I am not a buddhist but I do feel annoyed when I watched those videos. He's making himself like a fool and seriously it's not funny to make neg comments on other religions esp SG is well know for being racial harmony. He reminds me of my neighbour opposite, that damn spinster made sarcastic comments when she saw us praying during 7th mth. She made statements like: Wah, so hard working ah?! OPPS sry and Hmmm so U all believe in ghosts is it, then I shall recommend U to someone powerful to get rid of them. See, that's so sickening can =.= No use preaching so hard, U will only make ppl pissed off more. And everyone has the right to choose what to believe in. To me, all gods are the same as long as they teaches us good things :) ***This is just what I feel against that pastor and my neighbour, it has nth to do with Christianity, just to clarify first in case some of U guys feel offended after reading this***

Few more days to Chinese New Year, can't wait! Spring cleaning followed by reunion dinner and collecting ang baos :) Alright, shall go sleep now and pray hard that I don't wake up in the middle of the night again as I have been experiencing that the last few nights.

U will only treasure your precious weekends when the semestral starts :( Weekends passed so fast that I can't really remember what did I do in this pathetic short 3 days. Facebook-ed and saw Vivien & Eewoon posing with the TVB stars-Tavia and Shirley in Hong Kong airport!!! Envy them lots! hahah then watched 2 episodes of Greys S6 and the website has some error so I watched Private Practice after that. And hopefully I won't get them mixed up in my head. Sidetrack abit, Tim Daly starring as Pete Wilder has that charisma despite his age. When I say age, it doesn't mean he's young but rather an uncle cos he's 53. LOL. Can someone tell me why there is no new episodes of Gossip Girl S3 as it's still at epi 12 since 1 mth+ back.

About 13 more days to CNY and somehow the new year mood is ald lingering around me. My mum bought all the cookies, goodies and deco. Even b4 CNY starts, we finished half the container of pineapple tarts that my neighbour gave :) And I also spring clean 1/3 of my rm today. Really missed those days when I will bring goodies to school and share with all my friends. Those were the days but they will be memories that stays. Talking abt SP, saw the newspaper article today. SP emerges 1st for the JAE intake surpassing NP. Gosh, this 2 schs are constantly "fighting" but as an ex-SP student, of course I support SP!
Can't wait to watch U're the man on Ch U 8pm tmr, not becos I am a tikopek but it's rather funny to see how those guys react to challenging stunts. Go watch and U will know what I mean cos my family laughed to tears last week. Je ne sais pas, le ce pourrait etre la motivation.
Alright Bonsoir ppl!

We are all susceptible to it, the dread and anxiety of not knowing what's coming. It's pointless in the end, because all the worrying and the making of plans for things that could or could not happen, it only makes things worse. So walk your dog or take a nap. Just whatever you do, stop worrying. Because the only cure for paranoia is to be here, just as you are.
